Dynamics of active fluids : glassy behaviour and collective fluctuations

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Christoph Schran .

An important class of active material consists of fluids of self-propelled particles, which might represent, for example, swimming bacteria. The statistical mechanics of these fluids is very rich, including some behaviour that mirrors equilibrium molecular fluids, as well as new non-equilibrium phenomena. We will discuss two situations where the non-equilibrium character is important: glassy behaviour at high density [1], and rare fluctuations that exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking [2].
